Key facts

The Applied Mathematics program at San Diego State University prepares students for a wide range of career options that put mathematics to work. The career options include (a) technical or research positions with governmental laboratories and companies (e.g., U.S. Navy, SAIC, Apple, Google, Qualcomm, data analytics for various biotech companies, financial and security corporations), (b) teaching jobs at community colleges and universities, and (c) Ph.D. studies for further research in applied mathematics or related areas. The program has particular strength in computing, climate mathematics and bio-mathematics.

Graduates with skills in advanced applied mathematics, statistics, computer programing, and technical writing can receive excellent and highly paid job offers. A student entered ExoAnalytic Solutions, Inc. as an Algorithm Engineer in 2013 and received a promotion within six months. Another student received a $90K per year job offer six months before the completion of his degree. Still another student works on fraud detection using big data and cloud computing technologies and holds a job earning $130K per year plus bonus. Students are also doing well in Ph.D. studies after their applied mathematics M.Sc. degree. A student received a top campus wide fellowship from Notre Dame University and has written two papers from this M.Sc. thesis and four papers from his Ph.D. dissertation. The teaching option is also attractive. San Diego has many community colleges, such as City College, Miramar College, and Grossmont College. A recent graduate has a very successful career at City College.
